Rolling Stones to stage major career exhibit at London gallery
Mick Jagger performs at The Rolling Stones Zip Code Tour opening night at Petco Park on Sunday, May 24, 2015 in San Diego, Calif. The show, EXHIBITIONISM, will be spread over nine themed galleries and two floors. “The process has been like planning our touring concert productions, and I think that right now it’s an interesting time to do it”.
Added guitarist Keith Richards in the same statement: “While this is about The Rolling Stones, it’s not necessarily only just about the members of the band”.
The “Exhibitionism” show will take in art, design, film, video, fashion and performance as well as music, and the artifacts include guitars, costumes, personal diaries and audio clips. All of the bits and pieces and technology and instruments and stuff, the things that have passed through your hands in that time. “So it is appropriate that our EXHIBITIONISM will be housed at the wonderful Saatchi Gallery”.
The interactive display will also next year feature collaborations with artists and designers such as Andy Warhol, Alexander McQueen and Martin Scorsese.
The exact same sort of exhibit fully commited to British soloist David Bowie’s career accessed in London in 2013 at the Victoria & Albert Museum, cartoon substantial packed areas.
After their three months opener for “Exhibitionism” in London, the exhibition will travel over the next four years in 11 cities across the world including New York, Tokyo and Los Angeles. “If anybody should be interested in when we’re going to quit, it should be the Stones, and they’re not particularly interested in doing so”. Watts, always one of the more reluctant Stones, was a bit more world-weary in his outlook, saying: “It would be lovely if it was, but I have a feeling it won’t be”.
